Longest Running Shonen Jump romances?

For some reason I started wondering, what is/was the longest running Shonen Jump romance? I know shonen romance manga are pretty formulaic and (no offense) throwaway. Romance is not the best fit for the shonen category anyway, but series like....

.....all ran for only about 30-35 chapters and that's it. I haven't been the manga game for that long, but I wondered what some of the longest run(ning) Shonen Jump romances are. Romance/love has to be the main theme.

Well neither of those are Shonen Jump, so they're not overly relevant, but yeah, Suzuka lasted 18 volumes, matching Kimagure Orange Road but falling short of Strawberry 100%, and A Town Where You Live is at, what, like 20 volumes now? So that's longer. Maybe Shonen Magazine is the tiniest bit more committed to this stuff

I think you're onto something. Although I'd contest it by saying that most failures are ecchi romance, and they've had a long-running reputation of not getting votes in the TOC due to a combination of Japan's shame society and kids generally not wanting to have their parents see them vote for them (which... well it's a half-reputation, a lot of it seems to be wishful thinking), and you can kinda see their only true success in volume sales, where even a complete mess-up of a series like Harisugawa can do well.

Which of course means nothing because a few tens of thousands of volume sales doesn't match up to 3 million mag sales, which is where it all matters.

But when you think about the whole ecchi thing, it does explain why a series like Nisekoi can thrive in the TOC and in sales, having far less of it than a typical WSJ series.

Also now I can't get the old lady ferrari image out of my head. It's just too perfect

These possibilities are a guesses. Admittedly, I came out too strongly against WSJ and romance, since Medaka Box is another manga that's doing well...currently.

But do take into consideration that non-romance WSJ mangas are being axed, now. A slow death, by the editors.

Okay maybe not One Piece, but Naruto - yes, definitely. Katekyo - finished. Bakuman - finished. (Okay it is romance tagged, but personally I see it as a sub-plot, compared to other manga we all currently read) Bleach - one more arc. Sket Dance - winding down.

And at the same time, they are or were trying to promote romance manga - Magico, Koisime Momiji, Kagami no Kuni... all axed lulz. DON'T MAKE THE OLD LADIES PROMOTE THE FERRARIS.
